If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.

My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.

It is, then, by those shadows of the hoary Past and their fantastic silhouettes on the external screen of every religion and philosophy, that we can, by checking them as we go along, and comparing them, trace out finally the body that produced them.

My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.

Religion is induced insanity.

Today's interpretations of religion are often backward and contradict the needs of civilization.

Religion often is misused for purely power-political goals, including war.

No power of government ought to be employed in the endeavor to establish any system or article of belief on the subject of religion.

Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality, and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching, to love their neighbors, then they would put jealousy and frustration aside?

Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you've got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!
